IPL and Security

Indian Premiere league is scheduled to start by April 10. The inauguration function is held in the Mumbai city of India. With increase in the expectation of this event, there is also more concerns for security. After the 26/11 attacks there is more need for security in India. All the foreign players want more security than before for their safety trip to India. Another major concern is that, the elections are approaching in India. So the Para-military forces are also needed for the election security. Hence the present government is also finding the supply of security forces to this event difficult. So the home ministry asked the IPL officials to re schedule the dates. The IPL officials too are working hard for the event to proceed as scheduled. After the recent terror attacks and the recession affecting all parts of the world, this would definitely affect the event and the crowd coming to watch the cricket match. The recent attacks on Sri Lankan cricket team will also raise major concerns for the security of players. Even if proper security is provided to the players, the fear factor is always there. Overall it’s a decision of the individual players to come at their own risk and play for money.
